SLM Int. - Regions of Outreach: - South America - Brazil: BRAZIL Milestones
The Country
Brazil, the largest country in South America, shares common boundaries with every South American country except Chile and Ecuador. It gained it independence in1822 following three centuries of Portugal rule. Being the most populous South American country and utilizing its vast natural resources, by the 1070s the Federative Republic of Brazil developed into the leading economic power in Latin America. Of Brazil’s over 172 million people, 80% are Roman Catholic. A recent intercensal count reported the population 5% lower than projected. This is thought to be due to the effects of excess mortality due to Aids. Brazilians need to be reached with the Gospel. The Ministry
In August 2000, we saw a record setting enrollment in the Source of Light correspondence school, which exceeded 15,000 students. This resulted in potential disciples for the Lord Jesus in all 26 states of Brazil. A national, Antonio Bibiano and his wife, oversee the SOL ministry from Juazeire do Norte. Mr. Bibiano is also pastor of Canaan Baptist Church. He is the Executive Secretary of The Brazil Branch of Source of Light Ministries. Contacting Source of Light - Brazil
